She had read all about teledildonics, a program used by people addicted to virtual-reality sex. She hadn’t thought much about that use of the technology. Her focus was on the self and how she was going to get used to a simulated environment. She’d never thought about sharing it with someone else. In her head. In a sexual manner. It hadn’t occurred to her that a program could be so seductive and sexy, that she would enjoy a kiss with something that wasn’t real.
“I can feel your wetness. Is that real enough?”Hades lifted his lips from hers, gently giving her swollen ones one last kiss.“You see? Everything, in theory, has lots of promises.”
Helen ran her tongue over her upper lip. Two could play at this game. She reached down and did what she had been thinking of doing the last ten minutes. He was hot and…very aroused.“Can you feel that with your sensors?”She gave him a squeeze.“How does it feel to have something done to you and it’s not really happening?”
“But it is happening. I can feel your hand, just as you felt my kiss.”His eyelids lowered.“With your trigger, it’ll be similar when you remote view.”
The man was unbelievable. Theoretically, he was having the experience of being pleasured by a woman’s hand, yet she wouldn’t have known that if she weren’t the one doing the pleasuring. Maybe it had been so long, she was losing her touch? She reached down with the other hand.
He grew larger in her grasp. She stared smugly into his eyes and even though they remained unreadable, she sensed steely determination in him. They were testing each other, and neither he nor she was going to give in. She had the upper hand. How far would he go?
As far as I want to take it.She was beginning to recognize that mocking tone.
You’re so damn good at reading my mind, find out the trigger code yourself!
Instead, he moved suggestively, pressing his thighs intimately against her, flexing himself in a way that didn’t require any mind reading on her part.“I could try, but I prefer your free will, Elena. Makes things easier. Your willingness to stay here. To work with me. Depends on your free. Will.”
He kept his sentences in time with short thrusts of his hips. Helen sniffed, wanting to laugh. He wasn’t as controlled as he looked.Giving you my secret means free will? Come on, Hades. It gives you control. I might only have been through Phase Two of RV training but even they had given me warning about mental manipulators.
You’re betraying yourself, sweetheart. That’s Three.
Helen smiled. He’d betrayed himself, too. He knew more about remote viewing than he had let on, and he didn’t deny that he was a mental manipulator. Keep filing, Helen, keep filing.“Ooops,”she said aloud.
Hades smiled back, unperturbed by her testing him.“Give and take,”he reminded her.“So now I know you’re a little more advanced than they’ve trained you. Good.”
“Why, good?”
“Never let everyone know you have something extra up your sleeve, Elena.”
“And everyone includes you, right? But you plan to know everything.”Whereas she knew nothing about him. It irritated her.
“Not everything.”His voice now had that lazy edge of a man enjoying himself, and why not, he was grinding against her hand and body even as he was having this conversation, punctuating each short sentence in the most sexual way.“Boring. I like to string it out. Next session. If you pass the test. Tonight.”
Oh, she would. She wasn’t going to come so far and not go that final…She stopped herself just in time. She peered up at him suspiciously. She’d almost given herself away.
I saw something.
Shit!She released him, disgusted with herself. She hadn’t bargained for this kind of access into her mind. She would complain to T….
“No one knows how far we can go with this. They want their supersoldier-spy. They didn’t ask how or what COMCEN’s going to do to achieve this.”
So T. didn’t know either. Like she’d said earlier, she was a lab rat around here.“Is this why we’re doing everything virtual? So you can see what you can do? You think you can remote view through me?”
“Theoretically. I already told you I don’t have your talent.”
She had many questions, but chose not to form them. Not yet. Something very important was being revealed to her and she meant to get him to talk.“Scientists have theories, Hades. And theories are a bunch of formulae and words. We are neither.”
“We are the drivers behind these theories right now. Why did they stop at Phase Two with you? They didn’t want to waste time and money, just in case you fail.”
“Become a mental case, you mean.”
“I’m not going to let that happen.”
Sure, sure. A virtual dream man was going to take care of her. The irony was totally befitting the situation.“Why not?”she challenged.“Are you going to change into a white knight and come to my rescue?”
His gaze was enigmatic and she pushed against him.“Why not?”she repeated.
“Give me the trigger and I’ll tell you.”
